Assuming the keeper dives, a hard shot down the middle of the goal has to score every time. So Ross took the perfect penalty yesterday. However, more and more players seem to be doing that, so one of these days it's inevitable that some goalkeeper will just stand still and catch it or palm it over the bar. I'm waiting for a gently chipped penalty down the middle in a big game when the keeper stands still and produces a save his granny could make. It's got to happen eventually. Bottom line : as a regular penalty taker you can't do the same thing every time, however good you are at it.

Don't get it. He scores all the ones he bangs down the middle so don't get the issue. Hopefully keepers have noted this and his next one he can bang left or right if he feels up for it, but I honestly think with how hard and usually how high he hits them they're almost not saveable anyway.

The problem with just hitting it hard and straight,

The keeper if he has done his homework , will stand still and spread his arms,

With a bit of luck ( on the keepers side ) the ball hits his arm and goes over,

If Ross moves it 2ft to the left or right the keeper will have less of a chance of saving a hard struck ball,

We should not complain whatever he does , as long as he scores.

I remember a Brazilian goalkeeper saving one of Gary Lineker's pens at Wembley like that

For me, when he steps up to take the pen, I fancy him to score and that's key. He fancies himself to score too - it's evident in his approach. I think he'll score loads more than he misses and that'll do for me. I don't care where he hits them.
